Strengths:    Had Hutchinsons as OEM tires when I got my bike in 2000. They were very flat prone, so I was hesitant about the brand in general. These tires are very fast and reliable so far.

Weaknesses:    Wish they had a higher PSI limit (140 would be great)

Bottom Line:

Bought two days before a 60 mile charity ride. Used without any problems.

Strengths:    look cool

Weaknesses:    ZERO grip
Cut easy

Bottom Line:

Took these on one training ride to get a feel for them prior to racing and will never ride them again. I took a smooth (no sand) fast corner at approx. 15 mph (very slow for the corner) and hit the ground so fast i didn't realize i had fallen. I might as well have been on just my rims these tires have so little grip.

Strengths:    grip, look, no flats so far

Weaknesses:    wear quickly, expensive

Bottom Line:

Tried that tire on my rear wheel, looks good, is light, good grip and I had no flats after using it for 2000 km; but they seem to wear very fast, I have cuts all over; I would recommend it as a racing tire, for training only if you are willing to change them a few times per season
